A Perfect Weekend
I have stated in many short term rentals throughout the US and Europe and this was one of the most well equipped homes ever! To summarize the highlights - the kitchen had everything a cook might need, there was a luggage rack in every bedroom, plenty of paper products and soap, and even fresh flowers on the dining room table. The mattresses were comfortable so everyone got a good night's rest. There was plenty of seating both for dining and in the living room. The house is older but updated nicely and with the cutest décor. If you are looking for a pleasant stay in a quiet neighborhood in the southside of Durham and close to RTP, this is the one!
